For you UK guys! can you help me with this pilot? and his origin, I know he is about 1/5 scale and comes from England but who made him and where??? He came with a model I bought second hand in about 98' I would like to get another little guy the same, as he is my favorite....any help appreciated
Cheers-
This pilot looks like an A.H. Designs half body to me. Both myself (Pete's Pilots) and A.H. make all sorts of pilots in the U.K. A.H. concentrate mostly on pilots with actual clothing,and are of a more generalised nature, wheras mine are more specific and made mainly out of latex. I do have some clothed glider/light plane pilots with bodies made from soft foam.These are mainly 1/4 and 1/3 scale. I do a 1/4 Jet pilot and have sold about 6 to date !! Customers must remember there are hundreds of different sizes and types of model aircraft , so only a custom made solution will often do. Certainly Dragon Models Pilots and Elite Aviators from Blue Box cannot be beaten for detail and finish .They are absolutely fantastic. BUT, THEY ONLY COME IN ONE SCALE 1/6 and they are HEAVY weighing in at approx 8oz . Both I and A,H, have tried to keep the weight down .A.H. Design can be contacted at :-A.H.
